With 10 tools connected to real Scopus data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.

Frequently asked questions about the Scopus MCP Server

Can I search for specific authors using their names or ORCID?

Yes! Use the search_author tool to find profiles by name or affiliation, or use get_author if you already have a specific Scopus Author ID to retrieve their full metrics and H-index.

How do I get a breakdown of citations per year for a specific paper?

You can use the get_citation_overview tool. Provide the DOI or Scopus ID and an optional date range (e.g., 2018-2023) to see how the document's impact has evolved over time.

Can the AI help me evaluate the quality of a journal?

Absolutely. By using the get_serial_title tool, your agent can retrieve official metrics like CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) for any journal.

Vinkius AI Gateway

We built the connector to Scopus. Now put your agents to work. Fully governed.

Vinkius is the AI Gateway with managed hosting. Stop building connectors. Every connection runs inside eight layers of security.

How it works
Infrastructure

Hosted, sandboxed, and live on AWS. You don't provision anything. You don't maintain anything. You connect.

Visibility

Every tool call, every token, every response. Logged and auditable. Data flows direct from Scopus to your agent. Nothing is stored on our side. Ever.

Control

Eight governance layers on every request. Sensitive data redacted before it reaches the model. Kill switch if anything goes sideways. Always on.
